That's some really nice art work.

But the real question is, what's in the bag?

Cookies?:D ?

Close; it was Lindt chocolates. A parting gift, as today was my last day there. Monday I start a new job.

Did you remove your tire and wheel combo and flares?
Yes, I did, temporarily- it’s a bit of a story.

I removed the flares because the rubber piping failed in a few spots…AGAIN. I bought some better piping and was waiting until I had time to install it and put them back on.

I was kind of liking the look without the flares, so I procrastinated and tried buffing out the wear lines left by the flares - it didn’t work and so I procrastinated some more. I finally put the better piping on the flares a couple of months ago but waited to re-install them.

I had a shimmy that started at about 120 km/hr and my extended warranty was about to expire. I wanted to make sure it was the tires and not drive-line related before the expiry date so I removed the wheel set and put my OEMs back on. This is why I didn’t re-install the flares - the truck would have looked funny with deep pocket flares and the factory wheel setup.

It was 100% the big, heavy tires, which was good news. They need a road force balance and the tires have to be on the truck so they can get warmed up on the drive to the tire shop….so they say. I will eventually do that but I am having way too much fun with the fuel economy and get-up-and-go of the current setup.

Wow, we have a big Lindt manufacturing place down the street in Stratham.

They used to have an outlet store in Portsmouth and that was really bad news for this chubby guy! =D

Good luck with your new job! =)

Thanks!

And yeah, there's a Lindt outlet store not too far from me.... I try my best to keep it "out of sight, out of mind".
